Why Is Hatton Obsessed With Mayweather?

[!! $iN]

Hatton wants to fight the P4P number one, he wants to become the man. That means Floyd. If Hatton's primary motivation was money he could stay in Manchester and fight for massive gate reciepts against mediocre fighters.

If Hatton's primary motivation wasn't money, he wouldn't be trying to fight DLH. DLH is clearly not the best fighter in the game and that fight would just be as big of a mismatch as Mayweather-Hatton...

hatton is obsessed with him likely because floyd is apparently the man to beat.. and he can be beat its very obvious.

It IS because Maywhether is the top fighter in that division and because Hatton wants to fight him.

Leave all of the conjecture, rumour and the bull**** behind. All this "Who ducked who" **** is old and massively boring and its tiresome seeing it in thread after thread after thread. Perhaps Hatton didnt feel like he would be able to fight Maywhether two years ago. PBF is P4P number 1, so I certainly wouldnt be ashamed of him if Ricky didnt think he was ready, or if the networks didnt think he was ready. Now he's one or two fights away from it happening regardless of who is or isnt ready, so providing everything stays on course and neither of them lose unexpectadly or retire...it will happen.

At least he is treating PBF with enough respect as to say:




So why not just take that for what it is and let them get on with it? Boxers mention other boxers. PBF mentions Hatton, Hattons mentions PBF more because he is currently the top dog. Its been happening for years and years, there is nothing more sinister to it than what it appears on the surface.

he was offered fights before and didn't take them, why should think he serious now?

Floyd picks ALL his oppononts.

Floyd picks ALL his oppononts.

how is that? do you have any idea who floyd fought in his career? ****s all over hatton's resume.

Its obvious? Perhaps someone should make you their trainer since none of the other great trainers have been able to win against him.

he can be beat end of story.. he dont want to fight a guy like margarito Ill tell ya that right now.. The way he tries to stamp himself in history.. He definetly dont want mosley.. he talks about getting tito come outa retiirement. he wants to pick his oppononts man, he makes bogus excuses whenever certain names come up like mosley and margarito. Floyd is a great skilled boxer with much speed, but there is guys he needs to fight before he tries stamping himself as one of the best in history, cuz that just aint the case..

[ThaHorseman]

What was his bogus excuse for Mosley? I believe from 1999 through 2006, Mosley wanted no part of Floyd. Now that Shane is making small money he wants to fight. Same with Margarito. He is a nobody trying to make his first multi-million dollar payday.

And anyone can be beat on any given night.

Why Is Hatton Obsessed With Mayweather?


That is pretty ****ing RICH coming from YOU $iN....

I guess you would know all ABOUT Obessions eh?

[*2TOUGH*]

I think it's pretty damn obvious Hatton has a strange obsession with Mayweather. At every opportunity, Hatton doesn't fail to bring up Mayweather's name for one reason or another. Here are just a few instances:

-In various interviews he's said Floyd is the best fighter in the world P4P and that would be a dream fight for him.

-After the Baldomir fight, he said Floyd looked like Russell Crowe but fought like Sheryl Crow.

-In his post fight interview after the Urango fight, Hatton said he wanted to fight in Vegas because all the greats have fought there. The first great he names? Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

-At the post fight press conference, he says Mayweather-DLH will be a boring fight and people should watch Hatton-Castillo for an exciting fight. Last time I checked, these fights aren't even competing with each other. They are a month apart. What is the point of even bringing up Mayweather-DLH? Is Hatton Mayweather's publicist?

-He talks about Mayweather as a boring fighter, yet Hatton himself doesn't realize his last few fights have been painful to watch. Hatton needs to realize hugging is not entertaining.

-In hyping his fight against Castillo, he has talked more about Mayweather than his opponent. He has even gone as far as saying he feels he can beat Mayweather even after his poor performances against Urango and Castillo.

The obsession is clear, but the reason is not. Why the hell does Hatton keep bringing up Mayweather's name? At first you would think it's to try and score a fight with him, but Hatton has clearly been ducking him for over 2 years and it was written into Hatton's contract with HBO that he would not have to face Mayweather. So it definetely can't be because Hatton wants to fight him. Anyone have any idea why Hatton is obsessed with Mayweather?

why are you obsessed with mayweather and obsessed with posting on this site?
